HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. â For years, Huntington Beach has tried to push back against its reputation as a magnet for extremist hate.
Those efforts weren t helped last year when the city s downtown and pier became a rallying spot for anti-mask activists and far-right supporters of then-President Donald Trump.
Now, the city is bracing for a White Lives Matter rally Sunday. The event â which arrives after a smattering of Ku Klux Klan fliers were distributed in Huntington Beach and surrounding areas â is sparking new demands that the city take more profound steps to shake its association with right-wing extremism once and for all.
